Not all of them but certainly a few of them. Growing a bootstrapped business slowly meant fewer rejections, less stress about expected growth (hiring, sales) and more control over your role at the company. But eventually you'll hire employees and you will spend less time writing code. I wouldn't necessarily say that's bad though as you might discover that some of those other aspects of running a business are even more satisfying. And you can always make time if you really feel the itch to program something again (once you've hired people to handle support/ sales).
I generally encourage interested people to start their own companies. But I advise against taking VC except for a few use cases that make bootstrapping unrealistic.
I woke up with knots in my stomach for months thinking about the things I would have to do to get customers and the non-stop rejection the day would hold as I worked to get a foothold for my startup.
There was no VC to call me to account, or VC firm to help with areas you I didn't like or couldn't do.
If I hadn't been able to hold myself accountable to do the things that I dreaded my startup never would have gotten off the ground.
I've bootstrapped several businesses. The stress is there but its different and highly depends on the situation (how much money you have saved up, what market you're in etc.)
